I cleaned the bathrooms and changed the sheets. Heaven.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
My dad had rotator cuff surgery, and I was, as usual, his caretaker, because he will never, EVER call anyone else.
I empathise, Teppy. I'm alone this NYE because The Girl was summoned to be with her parents when her brothers buggered off skiing. Wishing you a better 2011, and many healing vibes for the dog.

Oh, Steph. God dammit. You've got ton of my ~mas.
And thanks, everyone. It's good to be back. But I think I'll update when it'll be more quiet around here. For now, I do hope 2011 will show you nothing but its finest, and I hope y'all had a good Christmas.

Teppy, it does suck to be the lone caretaker. The fact that it sucks and you feel it doesn't mean that you're not a good daughter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I wish the dog would stop fussing so I could let her out of the cage but she keeps starting up again every time I get ready to let her out. (She was caged for attempting to climb onto the kitchen table to get at the clementines.) If I let her out while she's fussing, she learns that fussing works.

Can you 'treat' her when she's quiet until she stays quiet and then let her out?

Ooh that's a good idea. I'll try that next time. This time another housemate let her out.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
"You can't control how you feel, you can only control how you act. Judging feelings is a waste of energy."
This is so important to learn and remember. I need to work on this too.

I asked Tim, "Does it even matter that I helped my Dad if I didn't do it with a gracious heart?" And he said, "I think it mattered to *him*."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
"Does it even matter that I helped my Dad if I didn't do it with a gracious heart?"
Yes. How you feel about it is important to you, but what is more important are your actions. Feelings are valid, but being an adult is being able to act contrary to our feelings.
